I finally fixed my avatar

[The Rogue Wolf]

...do I really have to say, or is it blatantly obvious from my user name why I would pick my avatar?

[small]This picture was in a calendar of mine. It was just too awesome to not put to use.[/small]

Persona 4 is the best game ever made so I thought I would share my enthusiasm for the game in visual form.

Yeah, Persona 4 is the best game ever made.

Some say that a member of the the Escapist chooses their own avatar.

That was not the case with me.

As I stewed amongst the decrepit slums of the internet, with not an avatar to call my own, I thought all hope was lost.

Suddenly, I was removed from that filth, elevated by a pillar of light.

Blue skies, verdant fields...

Hail myself.
Yes, this thread is almost nothing but pointless self-congratulatory wanking mixed with response-bait, but then again my new avatar is awesome.
But, to give this thread a semblance of a raison d'etre [sub][sub]read: "a thinly-veiled excuse for existing" coded in the shorud of intellectual wankery[/sub][/sub]

Why did you choose the avatar you currently use to represent you on these fine forums?

And a cookie to whomever gets the reference hidden in this post first.

you are the third user with that "unique" avatar...

Well, that was demotivating.
I shall now go and eat a whole cup of Häagen-Dazs.
[sub]And who are the other users?[/sub]

I was testing out some pixel art I could do, the first thing that came to my mind was Rainbow Dash. I liked what I came up with so there you go. However, I'm thinking of changing it soon.

You should change it.

Are you not the same person who made the colourful faces that would change every so often, keep changing them.

Yeah, I made that too.

 

[JochemHippie]

Cause it's like a smiley.

On LSD.

I've always loved Road to El Dorado so when I found Miguel playing the lute I had to use it.

 

[Patrick Buck]

I made my avatar because I am getting back into Pokemon, Team Galactic is the best evil team, and Giratina is cool.

I don't know why, but I always assumed your Avatar was Adam Jenson for Deus Ex Revolutions.

I really don't know why, I just looked at it properly and realised how stupid that was.

OT:
Dunno, just chose a random thing I had on my computer.

 

[IronSuplex]

This is how I look when I read the internet.

In maybe a couple of days, this post isn't going to make any sense, because undoubtedly you'll end up changing it again =P

I like Community, I saw this gif in a much bigger size somewhere on the interweb, thought it would make a good avatar (and judging by messages I've received it is) and TimeLord kindly shrunk it down to avatar size for me.

Eh you're probably right I will change it soon...

I do really like this one though. Maybe I'll keep it until next month.

 

[Fijiman]

The avatar I'm using now was from a photo I had taken for a thread started by, I think, Dango asking Escapists to post a picture of what they look like at that moment. I'll probably change it when I stop being lazy enough to no do what I'm wanting to do for my next avatar.

You have had that avatar since I first joined too!

Heh, yeah, I've been using it for years. I've seen yours around also, I didn't recognize it from death note though.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Because I miss my gorram moustache so damn much! Only a month and 5 days until I start to grow it again though... and I think I will keep it this time! Looks ace in uniform!

Although, I wished I had a pic of is as clear as that, but where I wasn't so drunk... I look so wasted! :/

Sounds like the moors round here.

On that note, if Ammy was one of the dogs on the moor, someone would have put her down. Being on fire can't be comfortable!

OT: I remembered the face of my father, and this was the only suitable avatar.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

And still, no-one got the reference...
It's obscure, but someone ought to have heard of it?

The Hindenburg disaster, and Herbert Morrison's famous exclamation "Oh, the humanity!".

EDIT: Oh. I thought you meant the reference in the avatar, not in your first post. Frankly I ain't got a clue.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

Pretty simple, I'm a big fan of Warhammer 40000.

(also big thanks to Topaz Fusion and The Avatar Store: New and Second-Hand for animating it)

 

[uchytjes]

I was watching minecraft animations on youtube and one said it had downloads of the picture. So I pretty much said "screw it, i need an avatar for the escapist." Thats pretty much it.

 

[Karfroogle]

First thing I ever made in photoshop and I use it for almost everything because I believe it's a good representation of me and how I think.
